Hennessey Performance Introduces VelociRaptor V8:

758 Horsepower V8 Powered Raptor...

When the Ford Raptor returned to the market in 2017 you could only buy it with the 450 horsepower twin-turbo V6 EcoBoost engine. While no one complained about a 450 horsepower Raptor, many previous owners did complain about there not being a V8 option. The team fromm Hennessey Performance (HPE) has been hearing their cries ever since and have answered them. Introducing the 2019 Hennessey VelociRaptor V8.

As the name implies, the team from HPE has taken a brand new 2019 Ford Raptor, removed the EcoBoost V6 and swapped it with a specially built Ford 5.0-liter V8 engine that is supercharged by Hennessey to the tune of 758 horsepower!

The VelociRaptor V8 conversion is comprised of an extensive series of modifications and includes a new 5.0-liter V8 Ford engine, Ford 10-speed automatic transmission, Ford wiring harnesses, ECU’s and other parts that complete the engine swap. Once the V8 is installed, the Hennessey team cranks up the power to the tune of 758 horsepower via their 2.9-liter supercharger system, which produces 7-PSI of boost pressure. Hennessey’s V8-powered Raptor runs from 0-60 mph in a staggering 4.1 seconds.

“We are so excited to introduce our VelociRaptor V8 – the first and only V8-powered Gen 2 Ford Raptor,” said company founder & CEO, John Hennessey. “Our customers have been begging for a V8 option for their new Raptors since the truck first came out in early 2017. We heard their calls and are so pleased to meet this need in the market. The sound of the VelociRaptor V8 is so worth it!”

The price for the 2019 Hennessey VelociRaptor V8 is $147,950 USD, which includes a new 2019 Ford Raptor F-150 truck.
